browsing client's directory system using FileSystemObject

[ckyc]

Is there anyway that I can read the directory system of the client using the ASPs that I've written?  I need to read a text file from the client side so that I can update a database with the information in the file using ASP.

Generally,&nbsp;&nbsp;it's prohibited for a web application to access a user's disk, because of the obvious security/privacy issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;Microsoft (in IE5) violates these 'rules' in some cases, by allowing you to programmatically add to the favorites list, and change the users home page.<br><br>In order to accomplish what you want, I believe you'll either have to use an upload component and have the user upload the file to your site,&nbsp;&nbsp;or create a java applet or activex control that will do it (after getting permission from the user) <p>nick bulka<br><a href=mailto:nick@bulka.com>nick@bulka.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
